David Sklansky has played 6 out of the 57 hands at the FT. What a nit.

Pup - When you become old enough to drink legally in most states, have played more than $10 SNG or micro limit stakes online poker you may consider making snide comments about one of the greatest instructors of the game FOR LONGER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH.

Hopefully by then the moisture behind your ears will have dried enough for you to know better.

Until then have the common sense to Shut up.

Nice up in pay but kind of expected.. however the way he plays he really had no shot at all in winning

I think his performance proved he had a shot. The coverage staffs were all in agreement he played some great poker until his final hand. If he doubles on a coinflip there, he takes the chip lead. Nice tournament David.

New guy, makin' waves.

Newbino, causin' a ruckus.

Raisin' a stink.

Baron Von Noobenheimer, can't leave it alone.

No joking around for the Noobster.

Noooooob.

Newbie ?
Your registration date for 2+2 08/21/05
My Registration date for 2+2 02/28/03

Been playing in home games since the late 70's
Casino's since 1982, online since July 1999.

Just because I haven't throw out 2500 posts in a year hardly makes me a "newbie".

It's fair to say some issues and mindless posts get under my skin.

It's fair to say I may have missed his sarcasm (although I don't believe it based upon his posting history).

It's certainly fair to say I have little tolerance for the rampant jamming is the only way to play the game mentality of many young inexperienced players. (NOTE: Some new to the game play LAG to the skill level that I wished I had the ability and temperment to do.)

Not accurate to even refer to me as a "newbie" as again I probably have played longer and more successfully than
the vast majority of people on this board.

That doesn't make me always right in my comments or opinions but it certainly eliminates the issue of experience.

Domar I will tell you what - go to the posters homepage and read some of his commentary then scan some of his posts where he makes one line comments on Annie Dukes play or Joe Hachem's and see if you still feel he was "joking"

My comments were "harsh" but I believe after reading the above that you and JohnnyHumongous will appreciate why I don't believe an apology is necessary. While I did deride the "pup" it had basis.

Intelligent considered Monday Morning quarterbacking of play is part of what a poker forum is for - However I sometimes tire of derogatory one line comments from individuals about players they can only dream of becoming.

As to Bsheck's "HU for Bankroll" challenge my first suggestion would be for him to get a bankroll worth my time and trouble to take.

Eh, whatever. Most of my one liners aren't meant to be taken seriously. But thanks for reading my blog.

Let's try to get back to Sklansky in this thread. I was happy for him and his 3rd place finish. I actually respect his play and I think he can play with anyone else in the world and would actually destroy the competition on a show like High Stakes Poker because he would win the battle of mistakes.

MafiaPrince · #27 09-20-2006, 03:20 PM

Yeah...but it wasn't a coinflip...Obviously coming in 3rd in a WPT is a great accomplishment and I didnt mean anything negative against him in my comment.

Curious thought process - post verbosity equates to respect?

Whatever sir, I was simply trying to point out an obvious non sequitur of your inaccurate statements. I suggest you spend time refuting my comments if you believe them erroneous rather than building a straw man argument in an attempt to minimize them. I am quite comfortable and confident in my play history and knowledge of the game so your "respect" or lack there of is of no consequence to me.

Candidly this thread has gotten WAY OFF point for which I am significantly to blame. I reacted with entirely to much vigor to bshecks characterization of Sklansky's style of play as I took it as a belittlement of a man and style that has rewarded me handsomely over the years. I have then compounded my guilt by "defending" myself from meaningless commentary such as yours.

I actually agree with bsheck's last comments of "Let's try to get back to Sklansky in this thread" so I will not further compound my error by replying again.

my friend had a hand against jennifer tilly on day 2 where there was a 5 card straight on the board and she checks to him on the river and he bets about $20,000 chips and she calls.. he shows his cards (no ace) and she tosses her cards into the muck. Everyone at the table pushed them back to her and told her "no ! no! dont do that! your card can be considered dead". My friend was too dumb to call over the tournament director and get the hand declared dead [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
